Kostas,
You are 100% correct. If Jim AD1C didn't supply the support, I would be
gone. Thank goodness Jim has stuck with us for so long.
DX4WIN is a remarkably stable although feature poor application and the
users deserve some attention which, for what ever reason, appears to
have waned. I, like a lot of others, have been loyal DX4WIN users since
the beginning and have stuck with DX4WIN even as user requests have
fallen on deaf ears.
Automatic cluster start on boot up shouldn't be that hard to implement!
Nor seamless LOTW interface. Nor enhanced rotor control. Nor reports
which show confirmed via LOTW, card or both. Nor is integration with CW
Skimmer. Nor many of the other enhancements requested.
We all understand that the author of DX4WIN cannot make a living on
DX4WIN. That is a given. However, DX4WIN is woefully behind the
technology curve and paying users deserve (and have earned) updates.
I, for one, will be staying with DX4WIN as long as Jim AD1C provides
support or until I find looking at the rather bland, feature poor DX4WIN
displays turn me off. (I am getting close!)
Paul, we need to know your plans for DX4WIN. Are you going to update it?
Are you gathering user requests to be released at some later (near?)
date? Or should we users plan to move onto another platform?
Respectfully,
Lou N2TU

I agree that dx4win needs update urgently, especially with its LotW
features.
Easy upload to LotW (integration with TQSL), DXCC submission giving
priority either LotW or cards and having in mind all the new things
ARRL asks, as auto connection in DX clusters is a must.
The most important reason for someone to remain in Dx4win is its'
database (tnx Jim AD1C). Because the most important feature for a
logging program is to keep my qsos safe (and this works 100%) and the
second one to tell me right what DXCC entity is every call. So i
remain here as long as Jim is also here!!!
